off

Tomorrow I head off for a couple weeks of travel. Really I have 3 meetings back to back in different parts of the country. Saturday is a meeting in Bangkok for Gender and Development. It will be casual and it's a good excuse to meet up with friends and go out dancing for the night. I also want to buy some new shoes, and will buy tickets for my trip to India in November w my parents.

Then I head to the NorthEast for a 4 day confrence with 15 other volunteers, each of whom is bringing 2 people from their town. It's a confrence on AIDS development. We will talk a lot about how to do AIDS work in our towns. I am going with the woman who is planning the AIDS prevention workshops for the teenagers in my town with me.

This confrence is really near the largest national park in Thailand and a few of us are hoping to go camping for the weekend before the workshop we have in the East. This workshop will be about how to put together local workshops and then we will actually give a workshop for highschool students on AIDS Awareness.

Lots of exciting things, but I am sad to be away from home for so long. It will be nice to see friends and more of the country though.

Won't have much time on the internet, so probably won't be writting here for a while.

Tootles...
